"Away from Me" opened the Life on Display campaign for Puddle of Mudd in 2003, the album's first single on Flawless Records, and nothing else from the record went higher: it spent three weeks at number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, reached number five on Modern Rock Tracks and made 72 on the Hot 100.
Wes Scantlin told VH1 he wrote it about being lied to and deceived by someone he was involved with, and the title carries the attitude to match. The video came packed onto the Life on Display CD itself, ready for anyone who slipped the disc into a computer, and the song picked up a little extra mileage in 2004 when The O.C. used it in an episode.
